Leviticus 19:21-37

21And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yhwh, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 22And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yhwh for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

23And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. 24But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise Yhwh withal.1 25And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am Yhwh your God.

26Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 27Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Yhwh.

29Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.2

30Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yhwh.

31Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am Yhwh your God.

32Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am Yhwh.

33And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.3 34But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am Yhwh your God.

35Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 36Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am Yhwh your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.4 37Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am Yhwh.
